Mostly positive article on Jalopnik (for once), this one about Lexus service
#16
Are all (or at least other) Lexus dealers like that? That would explain a lot about their pre- and during sale service/attitude.

As I was looking for an ES I thought I read a dealer site that explained their sales people were salaried employees, not working on commission.

A guy in my neighborhood got a Ghibli about six months ago. Last week it disappeared and now he has an Audi A8.
I don't know him so I don't know his reasoning for giving up the Maserati after six months. Reading that article though I can imagine why.

Do you know what tops the Ghibli’s list of safety features? A backup camera
I’m going to begin in a place where Maserati’s designers and engineers clearly didn’t: the car’s equipment levels. Before writing this column, I devoted considerable time researching this issue (approximately nine minutes, while I was on the toilet) and I’ve reached the conclusion that Maserati equipped this car in the following way: First, they carefully examined each and every rival, to see what their competitors were offering. And then they didn’t include any of that stuff.

Now, in the past, we’ve all known that the Italians didn’t exactly offer the very best value on the market, but we’ve sort of ignored it. For instance: the Ferrari F430 didn’t have side airbags, even though the Koreans were installing them in cars that cost nine grand back when Chandler and Joey were still roommates. The old Quattroporte had a navigation system that was about as useful as asking for directions from a old blind Italian woman who didn’t speak any English. In fact, she may have been the lead engineer.
